I have been an avid runner for most of my life. It’s my passion, my outlet, my meditation. I am also passionate about giving back and helping others, especially women. I have always been a strong advocate for women supporting women. 

When I discovered that Women for Women UK had spots for the Virtual Virgin Money London Marathon, I jumped at the opportunity to join the #SheInspiresMe Squad and help raise funds to support women while running at the same time. It’s the perfect union of my passions and I was up for the challenge. 

I first was introduced to Women for Women UK through one of their ambassadors, Gillian Anderson. As a big fan of Gillian’s since the 90’s, I’ve followed her career closely and am always particularly interested in her charity work and advocacy.

About Women for Women International

Women for Women International invests where inequality is greatest by helping women who are forgotten — the women survivors of war and conflict. Through Women for Women International’s Stronger Women Stronger Nations Program, women learn the skills they need to rebuild their families and communities. In Afghanistan, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda, and South Sudan, women who join the program connect with each other to form support networks, learn to
earn an income and save, and gain knowledge and resources to care for their families, and defend their rights. Women use their power together, passing it on to neighbors and their children for
lasting change.

Since 1993, the organization has invested in the power of over 500,000 women to use their voices and create a ripple effect that makes the world more equal, peaceful, and prosperous. To learn more about the power of women, for women, visit womenforwomen.org.uk
